Registering a Test Agent from the local console

This page describes the process for registering a Test Agent. The description is applicable to all user-installed Test Agents, i.e. ones installed from an ISO or a USB image, as well as virtual Test Agents (vTAs).

Note that vTAs also support initialization via cloud-init; see the document "How to get started with Virtual Test Agents (vTAs) in OpenStack", available here.

Registration process

Use the text-based menu and navigate to Register.

Under Server, you should normally use the default, that is, the URL of the Netrounds cloud server: login.netrounds.com. However, if you want to register via another Test Agent used as proxy, you need to point to the static IP address of the proxy Test Agent instead.

Under E-mail, enter the email address that serves as user name for your Netrounds account.

Under Probe name, enter a name for the Test Agent. This name is what will be shown in the Test Agents view.

Enter the password for your Netrounds account.

Select the domain (i.e. your Netrounds account). If you are a member of several accounts, all of these will be shown in a list.

The message "Registration successful" should now appear. The Test Agent will then be visible in the Test Agents view for your Netrounds account: https://app.netrounds.com/<your_account_name>/genalyzer/.
